Sri. rsih uvaca—the Rgi Maitreya said; iti—thus; tasam—their; sva-
Saktinam—own potency; satinam—so situated; asametya—without com-
bination; sah—He (the Lord); prasupta-suspended; loka-tantranam—in the
universal creations; nisamya—hearing; gatim—progress; isvarah—the Lord.
TRANSLATION
The Rsi Maitreya said: The Lord thus heard about the suspension of the
progressive creative functions of the universe due to the noncombination.
of His potencies, such as the mahat-tattva.
PURPORT
There is nothing wanting in the creation of the Lord; all the potencies
are there in a dormant state. But unless they are combined by the will of
the Lord, nothing can progress. The suspended progressive work of
creation can only be revived by the direction of the Lord.
